  1. I don’t even mind turning NXT into the Power Plant with 26 fungible CAW Mark Jindrak templates. I mean, I’ll probably watch that show. But if that report is true, yeah, Triple H is at a dead end in his career (until the old man changes his mind again, anyway). Not sure where he goes from here other than sucking it up, sir-yes-sir and cranking up “Move Along” for the Diva Search.

  2. Bobby is like the senior sys admin for the backend database at a major corporation that has been there 30 years and quietly makes a ridiculous amount of money while managing nobody, because the entire organization knows that through all the years of changes in leadership or business strategy, the company would go totally down the shitter without him. He's the guy in the back room with the short sleeve button down with intimate knowledge the rows and columns to every database that actually drives the company. And for that reason, he's probably your favorite wrestler's (the company executives in this analogy) favorite wrestler. 

    If wrestling had a tech-like notion of "fellows", Bobby would be a fellow.

  3. The only use of Cole in AEW I want to see is the vehicle through which they run a Cub La Vela show. Clay Hyatt can resurrect him from the dead on BTE or whatever.

  4. Not meaning to cross post too much from the sports board, but my goodness is the SEC using the 1980’s Vince McMahon playbook in college football right now or what? The parallels between the SEC killing the NCAA and Vince killing the NWA are crazy. Expand beyond your region by signing the best talent/teams in other territories to exclusive contracts, crown your own champion, sign exclusive TV deals … I wouldn’t be surprised if the next move will be to disallow those talent/teams to work for other promotions (play other major teams out of conference). 

    Like, it’s all right there. In 10 years we are going to have Kansas State walking around with the NCAA football title like Nick Aldis.

  5. My half baked fantasy booked suggestion for selling out a stadium in the Nov/Dec timeframe:

    Baker/Rosa II

    Miro / Jingle Boy TNT Title

    Danielson/Omega

    Wight / Shaq (the let me up match between the dream match and main event and your mainstream pub deal, with heavy promo time on NBA on TNT during the heart of the NBA season)

    Hangman / Allin world title (your two biggest home grown stars headline. Babyface vs babyface but who cares)

    Whatever else with the Elite, Pinnacle, Cody is gravy.

  6. Gonna sound extremely pessimistic here I know but with AEW poised to go on the promotional run of a lifetime here coming up, I can’t be the only one hoping that they or a talent don’t do something stupid in one of these death matches that would potentially fuck anything up with the network or audience. It isn’t worth it (e.g. if a fan gets injured by debri or some such). I’m good without light tubes or barbed wire spider nets or whatever.

  7. Seeing AEW doing almost a 20k advance for what is still a blind card in NYC, I’m really curious what a potential card with Bryan/Omega on top, in a destination location and with enough advance notice for the international traveling audience, would pull. Could they sell out a football stadium in Chicago, NY or Vegas? Maybe not that many. Or baseball - Citi Field holds 45k and that feels achievable.

    The biggest non WWE crowd in the past 30 years is what, the Goldberg Georgia Dome show? That drew 40k? I think they can top that.
